Shakespeare in the Park – May 28 – May 29

Take Note Troupe transports William Shakespeare’s A Comedy of Errors to the silver screen this spring at Shakespeare in the Park at Fair Oaks Park on May 28 and 29. This lively adaptation infuses the classic tale of mistaken identities with the glitz and glamour of the Jazz Age. Set against the backdrop of flapper fashion and speakeasy culture, the play follows two sets of identical twins separated at birth, leading to a series of hilarious encounters.
